This is a terrific discovery for modern Greek food. Soulas has an amazing menu with several options under each category. The portions are generous. We enjoyed the calamari and lamb souvlaki. The flavours were rich and authentic. The lemon potatoes were simply delicious. Service was attentive. We will definitely return!

I recently went to Greece and Soulas is on par! I loved the service and atmosphere. There was live entertainment and the food was amazing. I loved the saganaki (flaming cheese). We also ordered the seafood platter, mixed grill platter, salad, calamari and they gave us a slice of cake for a birthday. If you want to experience amazing Greek food and great service, I highly recommend!

Very busy and vibrant restaurant. Service was good but the food was not good. Our server told us they are known for lamb, so that’s what we ordered Lamb chops had very little meat and were quite fatty. Lamb shank was dry and not fresh. It came with a very tomatoey sauce on orzo and did not resemble typical Greek food. The hummus had a horrible sour taste with odd spices like cumin. The dessert was the best thing we ordered but even that had a weird combination of chocolate and cinnamon. I do not recommend this restaurant at all.

I really enjoyed my dining here. All workers were so helpful and friendly. The mezze plater were so generous and tasteful, but it was little bit extra salty. The lamp chops were served based on my order. I can definitely suggest this place to others.

The atmosphere is probably one of the best. The decor and live music make it a unique place to visit. The staff were awesome, probably some of the best in Toronto. The dips were really good, very authentic. The main courses were good but could have been better, my lamb Exohiko was a little mushy but still tasted great. I tried a piece of the Santorini Chicken and it was incredible, I think I should have gotten that instead. One person at our table raved about the calamari. Definitely a place to go back to for the great service, atmosphere and music.

Soulas has been a Greek restaurant even before it was Soulas. The summertime patio is a definite plus. A word about the Lemon Chicken.. for the price this was quite a small piece of chicken and if value-for-money is a thing I'd stick with souvlaki. There was quite a bit of fried onion and I'd trade most of it for half a chicken.

Run not walk to this neighborhood gem for their greek food. Summerlicious is going on till Sunday,21 June. So, take full advantage. Why visit: 1) Huge portion size 2) Delicious flavours and food 3) Beautiful ambience and patio 4) Lovely and helpful staff 5) Reasonable food prices 6) and finally their complimentary and addictive pita bread. Have 😊 fun

We went here a month ago and enjoyed our experience. First, we had their Greek red wine, which was delightful. Then, I ordered the vegetable Moussaka, and it was one of the best vegetarian dishes I’ve ever had in Toronto. The servers were nice, and their patio is lovely. We can’t wait to visit again.

My family and I dined at Soula s on Danforth last weekend, and once again, it did not disappoint! The food here is always fresh, flavorful, and delicious. It s consistently been our go-to spot whenever we re in the mood for Greek cuisine. The service is top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the team is always on point and manages the crowd with ease. Soula s truly is a family favorite, and I can t recommend it enough if you re looking for authentic Greek food and great service!

As a Turk living in Toronto, it is one of the taverns we are happy in. Greece and Turkey have been living together for centuries and their cultural unity is evident in the similarities of their dishes. We get the flavors we miss here. The staff are all friendly and attentive. The service is fast and great. Especially if you come across Agapios, one of the waiters, you have the chance to be served in Turkish. His warm conversation adds a different flavor to your night. I especially recommend the calamari and hummus. The calamari tasted a little floury before, but the last two times it was delicious. Neither in Thessaloniki nor in the Greek islands Ive been to before, Ive never had such good calamari. Thanks also to the kitchen staff and the chef. You should drink ouzo while you are here, but there is also Turkish raki on the menu. There is live music on Friday and Saturday nights. Reservation is a must to avoid the problem of not finding a table. Photo: Ouzo in a raki glass :)

Atmosphere and service is good. Food is disappointing. Ordered fried calamari and lamb chops. Fried calamari overpowered by dill and on the small side. Stay away from the lamb chops. Lamb chops were gamey, over salted, and had more fat than meat. Salad that came with it was not fresh and tomato was soggy. Potatoes were also too salty.

As a Greek wife who eats Greek food on the regular, I was happily impressed! The grilled calamari was wonderful. They also have a great drink menu. The wine was lovely . Our server seemed annoyed to serve a large group and had trouble separating our bills. As a server that is something I keep on top of while my guests are dining so that there is not a long wait when they are ready to leave . He was a little rude and the bills did take a long time . The restaurant is beautiful , and everyone enjoyed the meal . I will definitely return.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a hidden gem Soulas. This Greek restaurant stands out from the others on Danforth with its exceptional food, inviting ambiance, and unique approach to modern Greek cuisine. The menu at Soulas is a delightful departure from the typical Greek fare found in the neighborhood. They have your favorite classic dishes like moussaka and souvlaki, but the chef here takes a creative approach to traditional recipes, resulting in dishes that are both familiar and excitingly new. One standout dish that I highly recommend is their grilled octopus, perfectly tender and bursting with flavor. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to provide recommendations, and the service is efficient yet unhurried, allowing you to savor each bite and truly enjoy your dining experience. Soulas is sure to impress.

★★★
October 22, 2024

We decided to try this place as it had good reviews. We should have gone with another Greek restaurant. Although servers were pleasant and attentive, the food left a lot to be desired. The salad was soggy, the lamb souvlaki was well done/overly cooked rather that the medium rare I requested. Not a fan of the rice, it was bland and the potatoes were in no way Greek lemony potatoes;no flavour. I enjoyed the zucchini cakes and the tzatziki that came with the meal. Vibrant and upbeat atmosphere but not an authentic Greek experience.

I order chicken suvlaki for 2 . First , they serve us some dried pita . Suvlaki plate came soon and noticed that everything wasnt cooked properly and were cold . God knows if they were old . Later on , I order revani as desert and it was discussing . Old and seemed to me like someone spit it there . I have been all afternoon with stomach issues because of that food I noticed previous times that baklava was loaded with sugar because it stays longer in the Store. I am Mediterranean guy and I know what is about Mediterranean food . Unfriendly atmosphere . Never again to this place ....

Probably the busiest restaurant on the Danforth and for good reason. The food is always delicious and the service is good. I do love the lamb chops and their salmon but I think what sets them apart is that their chicken souvlaki is marinated in yogurt which gives it a very distinct taste that is different from the other restaurants. The staff seem to genuinely care and it shows. It s our go to when we take friends or family out in the area.

Anytime I m in Greek town, I ve always visited Astoria or the Friendly Greek, but I must say Soulas has one of the best lamb and chicken souvlaki I have ever had. The lamb was extremely tender and seasoned to perfection with the most flavourful lemon potatoes. Our meals were paired with a nice red wine. We finished off our palette with their KARIDOPITA, which is a Moist and flavourful honey Walnut cake with some cinnamon, and a nice in the house latte. For $7 a dessert and a $3/4 coffee it was an absolute steal. A definite must try in the heart of Danforth, and you won t want to miss their summerlicious menu from July 5th!! Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options upon request and on the menu Dietary restrictions: The waiters are very friendly and accommodate dietary needs Parking: Parking is free after 9pm Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is very open and easy to access.

When in to SOULAS for lunch (SUMMERLICIOUS) on Saturday. I dont have anything bad to say regarding the food as both meals were delicious. They sat us down at a tiny table barely enough room for a glass of water. Then as we were having our appetizers, a server came with our entreés and plopped them on our table. I told her we werent finished our apps yet but she continued to move the plates around so that they fit just like a jigsaw puzzle.Their 3rd strike was not having the air conditioner on. It was a sweltering July day and a couple of ceiling fans were useless.A poor senior next to us kept wiping his face and head with his handkerchief.

I honestly don t understand these good reviews. Some of the worst greek food I ve had in a long time. Souvlaki, salad, avgolemono soup - all classics, and all botched so badly we ended up tossing most of it. Maybe it s better in-restaurant definitely never ordering take-out again.

Last night we went here. The plates didnt have any special garnishment. The taste of food wasnt bad but I would prefer to taste other Greek restaurantsfood in the future. The people who work here dont respect guests. For example, when you want to pass through a door and they want to as well, they dont let you go first or they shove you. In general, I wasnt satisfied with the exception of the atmosphere that was good and I think they have live music for weekends.

Heard that Greece is driving away tourists lately. If that s so then probably Danforth can be an alternative if longing to visit the City of the Gods. And the best way to have a good Greek meal is at Soulas. The food tastes so Greek to me! The serving sizes are good to share and the service staff are so very Mediterranean warm and welcoming. Let Athens shoo me away and I will definitely head to this direction!

Its not very often they a restaurant gets 5 stars across the board, but Soulas sure deserved it. We took our mother there for her 90th birthday. When we arrived we were greeted by staff and welcomed. Then, they confirmed our reservation and gave us a choice of seating anywhere in the place. Our group had four finicky eaters and asked for a customized meal. Here is the pleasant shock; they make almost everything from scratch and could accommodate everyone no problem. And, they did. The food had very decent portion size, was all cooked to perfection, and it tasted great.. None of us will hesitate to go back again when we are in the area.

Great atmosphere. It was a real cool decor. As for the food, I wouldnt say it was over the top. I had the seafood special and it had a real fishy taste. The rest of our group felt like it was your typical Greek restaurant. As for the service our waitress was having a bad day.

My husband and I came today and had a horrible experience. My husband ordered Lamb souvlaki and asked it to be cooked medium and they over cooked it, it was black like charcoal. Inside was fully cooked and the outside was burned. Thats not what he ordered. I ordered chicken souvlaki and my chicken pieces were pink inside and not fully cooked. The waitress Maria is sooo rude! She is very disrespectful. When we first came in she did not send us to any table and said you guys can sit anywhere you like. So, we did. Then she came to our table and said if I need the extra table Im taking it. It was not busy! It was at 12pm. Also, if she wanted a table there were many others to take or she could have told us to sit elsewhere and not to pick where we can sit on the patio. My husband didnt even eat his meal and they still charged us. When my meal came, they brought fries instead of potatoes. So, I told the server Maria I didnt ask for fries, and she said yeah they ran out of potatoes so thats why the chef put fries. They should have asked me if I want extra rice or salad because i dont like fries. Then when we told them about the chicken being pink the server Maria said would you like me to bring you a coffee instead? I told her I dont drink coffee. Thats how you compensate for the mistake? You want me to pay $60 worth of food and tip but you apologize by bringing $3 coffee or whatever the price is ?..... the owner came and didnt even apologize and said ya we have one cook and the other cook didnt show up. He was very rude. We definitely wont be coming back here again.. after we paid the server Maria didnt even say thank you or have a good day or bye or sorry about what happened. Very rude customer service.

We came here so many times always good experience But after today will never be coming back. My wife ordered chicken souvlaki and I ordered the lamb souvlaki. When they brought the food they brought us fries and we asked why and they said they had no potatoes. They could have asked us do you want more rice or salad or something else. This has happened in other restaurants but they ask us if we would like a different substitution. We told the server Maria the chicken was pink and red and undercooked. I told her my lamb was black like charcoal and was way overcooked and I asked for medium. Then she asked if we wanted a coffee to compensate for what happened but I told her I just want my meal. The owner came and he didnt apologize and said the chef is the only one working today and that the other cook didnt show up. Okay, he could have cooked a proper meal again and what i ordered but instead he left and sent the server back with the bill. Charged my meal and not my wifes. I wanted to ask him I just want my meal replaced but he never came back. The server Maria is very rude and did not apologize. Just gave us the bill and walked away. Very disrespectful server and owner. She didnt even say bye or anything or apologize. We will never go back again.

Stopped by here for a quick lunch. Ordered the trilogy of dips, chicken souvlaki and lamb souvlaki plates. Everything was absolutely delicious! I kept my order pretty simple. Ive been to Greece before, so if a restaurant cant do the basics I dont return. This was my first time at this place and I will definitely be coming back to try as much as possible on their menu. Side notes, atmosphere is lovely. It is a fantastic date spot and the staff are very friendly and great hosts :)

Not sure why the high ratings with all due respect! The chicken souvlaki was not the greatest at all (shockingly). Pita bread could improve! Service was alright, although the tip minimum is 18% & when a custom amount is selected and it is a bit below the 18% it was surely not liked by the server. The dessert was nice & yummy! Live music was nice but a little on the loud side to be able to hear your company. The complimentary water offered tasted so awful. A ONE ONLY TIME VISIT indeed!

The vegetarian and meat moussaka is probably the worst thing I have eaten in a while. Not sure if they understand what bechamel sauce is. The paidakia and giouvetsi my dad and husband ordered were very good, however. Service was good too. Please fix those dishes!

Came here for Winterlicious dinner. The atmosphere was nice, had live music on a Friday night. The food came in a timely manner. It tasted okay, I have had better Greek food. It did come out fresh and fairly fast, however it was lacking some flavour.

Food was mediocre. Very nice portion size but very underwhelming taste (everyone at table had to use salt/pepper - it didnt help!!). In addition, both veggies with my entree were very over cooked (and mushy/inedible). There was a group of us and no one seemed overly happy with their food (seafood, chicken and Greek dishes were ordered). I was disappointed tbh, and hope maybe we caught them on an off day.

Family and I came here for winterlicious. There was a slight problem in the beginning when our reservation didn t show up in their system, but they were quick to resolve it with us and gave us a seat ! The portions were big and hefty, as well as delicious. I got the chicken souvlaki and I rate it 5/5 stars on its own. My sister also very much enjoyed her lamb shank, telling me how soft it was and it paired well with the risotto that it came with. As for dessert, I have nothing to say about it except that, once again, it was delicious with great portions ! Per my sisters words, It didn t even fully enter my mouth and It was already so flavourful . The service was very nice and quick and they continuously came to check up on us, which I loved. The live music (only on Fridays and Saturdays I believe) was quiet lovely :) I highly recommend this place, if it weren t for the far travel distance from my home then I would most definitely come back.

My guy and I came to Soulas on a busy Saturday night before a concert at The Danforth Music Hall. Its such a beautiful little spot - they had it decorated nicely for Valentines Day, and it had a warm and cozy atmosphere. The service was prompt and friendly, although the tables were quite close together - it didnt hinder our experience much. We ordered saganaki to start, and it was delicious! I had the moussaka, and my guy had the vegetarian moussaka. Both were amazing! We highly recommend it if youre checking out the Danforth.

Today,my family and I visit the restaurant. It was a special day and we wanted to have some Greek delicious food. Iam sorry to disappoint everyone. The food was not to the Greek standards for the price of the bill.We did, enjoyed the appetizers on the beginning of the meal.We order the steak that was swimming in gravy,the mash potatoes were old and lumpy. I order the souvlaki gyro,the roasted potatoes was swimming in oil,were broken like old.The rice was old with no taste.The meat was well cooked.Never again, we will visit.I visit the restaurant few other times and the food was excellent.

Celebrated a friends birthday here last night and the staff here made it a really great experience. They were super accommodating as we had to add a guest to our reservation at the last minute. The vibes were fantastic as they had live music playing. We ordered a few appetizers - the three spread platter, calamari, and saganaki. All were solid, with plenty of pita supplied with the platter. I usually get the pork souvlaki to compare when going to a Greek restaurant in Toronto. Highly recommend it here as it was juicy and tender. Personally would not recommend the gyros as I found the texture to be a little odd - seemed like it was boiled or something. Overall pretty generous portion sizes. Special shout-out to Agapios for being so kind and providing dessert on the house for the birthday girl, lighting sparklers and having the music group sing happy birthday for her. They really went above and beyond to make it a great experience for her and we really appreciate it.

I live in the neighbourhood and have always had good experiences at Soulas and Pan, but my most recent experience was disgraceful. We were seated on the patio, and when it started to rain, the awning started to leak in two spots above our table. We asked to be moved but were told that the empty tables on the patio needed to be saved for a party of four. Instead, our server moved our table by a few inches, which made no difference. It was still busy but clearly starting to empty out (this was around 8:30-8:45 pm). We sat there finishing our food and drinks while being dripped on, watching the tables continued to empty, and a single patron get seated at a table for four. When we went to leave, my jacket, which was draped over the back of my chair, was soaking wet. Our table should have been taken out of commission no questions asked regardless of where that meant reseating us. Incidentally, I tried to send this feedback directly via the restaurants contact form but it doesnt work.

Great food and excellent service. We ordered Saganaki and fried calamari to start, and for mains we had the chicken souvlaki, beef souvlaki and Atlantic salmon. The apps came out quickly with the mains following promptly. I personally preferred the souvlaki dinners over the salmon dinner. To me, the combination of mashed potato and sautéed spinach as sides didn t introduce enough variety in textures. Instead something like green beans could ve added a bit of crunch. But that s just my preference. All in all, everything was well seasoned and tasty. We ll definitely be returning.
